Question

We didn't see them last week. We haven't seen them last week. Какой вариант правильный и почему?

Answer 1

Ответ:

"We didn't see them last week" - правильно, так как это past simple, есть "did" и вспомогательное "last week".

Answer 2

The correct variant is: "We didn't see them last week."

The reason for this is that "didn't" is the contraction of "did not," and it is used to form the past simple tense in English. When you use "didn't," it indicates that the action (not seeing them) happened at a specific point in the past, which is last week in this case.

On the other hand, "haven't seen" is the present perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues up to the present. Since the context is limited to last week, the present perfect tense is not appropriate here.

So, the correct sentence is in the past simple tense: "We didn't see them last week."
